As a former Mozilla intern whom worked directly with Identity team on a daily basis last summer, I can say that this indeed hits close to home, though not unexpectedly so. I could see this coming. The Identity team has so many weird and wonderful things on the way for the broader Firefox audience that transitioning it to the community only makes sense. I for one can't wait to see what the open source and HN community does with Persona and also can't wait to see what comes out of the Identity team as a result of this transition of focus.
